IVIETHOD 0F ATTACHING HANDLES AND THE LIKE.

Application filed May 21,

To all 't0/0m t may concern.'

Be it known that I, UMBERTO A.. VaLnN'rs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful improvements in Methods of Attaching Handles and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to methods of securing parts, such as handles and feet, to a vessel, by casting the same directly in interlocking securement to parts especially formed on the vessel or embodied thereby; and further, it relates to articles embodying` these mentioned features of construction.

Some of the objects of the invention are: to produce different articles, such as casse*- role or the like, with necessary handles and feet, in such a manner as to realize a more effective attachment or interlock between the handles and feet, and the vessel; to effect the attachment of handles, feet, etc., in a more facile and economical manner.

In Vthe drawing forming a part of this application Figure 1 is a side elevation of a casserole with handles and feet attached in accordance with the present invention:

Figure Q is an elevation of a fragment of the outer Vessel of the casserole and showing some of the wings as formed thereon:

Figure 3 shows a mold positioned with respect to the wall of the vessel and wings formed thereon for the casting of a combined handle and foot in securement with said wings:

Figure l is a vertical sectional view illustrating` the application of the handle and integral foot:

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view on the line 5-5, Figure Ll.

Referring now t0 Figure 2 of the drawing, it will be seen, that the wall 10 of the outer vessel 11 of the casserole 12, is provided with wings 13. The wings 13 are struck up from the wall 10. rlhe wings as shown are produced in pairs. Each wing is preferably bent to provide different rela tively disposed parts. The wings of each pair oppose each other. In striking up the wings, apertures 14 are necessarily produced in the wall 10. An aperture 14 occurs immediately adjacent each wing 13. Pairs of wings are arranged in vertical alinement,

and handles are preferably attached to the pairs of wings so arranged. Whereas, for the attachment of feet, a pair of Wings near the bottom of the wall 10, serves very effectively.

F or attaching the handles, feet, etc., to the vessel 11. use is made of a mold 15, shown in Figure 3. The molten metal from which the parts to be attached, is to be formed, is poured into the mold. The liquid-like metal finds its Way to the wings 13, and part of it enters the apertures 14, beside the spaces defined by the said wings. The setting of the metal causes an interlock between the formed part and the Wings as will be readily understood. Different molds of course are used for the formation and the attachment of different parts. The attachment of parts to a vessel in this manner may be accomplished very easily and economically. The use ot rivets and the like and solder is obviated. A betterI and a more attractive job will be the result of the practice of the present invention-experience taught this.

ln the present application of the invention the combination handle and foot 16 is attached at each end of the vessel 11, and a foot 17 is arranged at each side of-the vessel 11 near the bottom thereof.

What is claimed is:

1. A method of casting by means of which one metallic object is to be connected to a second object characterized by employingupstruck means on the last named object, and suliisequently attaching a mold to said objet-t, which mold will engage the same at points adjacent the points of disposition of the upstruck means, and in pouring fluid metal into said mold to cause said metalto eiigage said upstruck means.

2. method of completing an article wherein one metallic object is connected to a second object characterized by forming upstruck means integral with said second object, and subsequently attaching a mold to said second object, which mold will engage said object at points adjacent the points of disposition of the upstruck mean; and in pouring a fluid metal into said mold to cause said metal to be formed in engagement with said upstruck means.

ln testimony whereof l have aiiiXed my signature.
